Hey - that sounds very exciting! I wish you the best luck and lots of
fun at those two gigs!

I've been dreaming about sometimes backing up a great soloist with
livelooping. Just staying in the background to build open soundscapes
that lets him/her stretch melody lines over several possible chord
vamps. This means being careful with thirds so the soloist can decide
if going for major or minor. Then follow him/her and maybe present a
next step into a parallel key, depending on soloist's direction.
Imagine John Coltrane backed up by a laptop loopist instead of the
usual jazz trio!
